A blog about metabolomics, genomics, and where the two fields meet.
The locus tagged by SNP rs272889 associates with a number of acylcarnitines, with isovalerylcarnitine (Metabolon platform) and the valine/C5 ratio (Biocrates platform) showing the strongest signals. This locus also associates with body height. NEWS: A recent paper on genome-wide patterns … Read More

Where can you find genetic association data from GWAS with metabolomics? Don’t search any further – the data is here: http://gwas.eu Search metabotype-genotype associations by SNP, gene symbol or metabolite name in GWAS results from two major mGWAS: Shin et … Read More
Read our new review paper on mGWAS in Human Molecular Genetics: Genetics of human metabolism: an update Genome-wide association studies with metabolomics (mGWAS) identify genetically influenced metabotypes (GIMs), their ensemble defining the heritable part of every human’s metabolic individuality. Knowledge … Read More
Human metabolism is influenced by genetic and environmental factors defining a person’s metabolic individuality. This individuality is linked to personal differences in the ability to react on metabolic challenges and in the susceptibility to specific diseases. By investigating how common … Read More
